- 

In Nagercoil, March 8- Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said that we are going to hold the centenary of the Vaikam movement. 

A grand public meeting was held at Nagercoil on 6.3.2023 on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the Shoulder Sealing Movement. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K.Stalin, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and other leaders addressed the meeting.  

Pinarayi Vijayan's speech reads as follows: 

I am happy to be able to participate in this program with brother M.K.Stalin. Shoulder seal struggle is a struggle for the right to cover the chest. I am delighted to participate in the event celebrating its 200th anniversary. Women of various castes were denied the right to cover their breasts. Two centuries ago, Marthanda Varman, king of Travancore, declared that Travancore would henceforth be Sanatana Dharma Rashtram. 

After that, many atrocities related to Sanatana Dharma were committed in the society. Such inhumane measures were imposed on huge sections of the population. Accordingly very bad taxes were levied.
